what if i brought my magen david rainbow flag into work but also buy a desk-sized palestinian flag to put next to it so that people know to stop wishing me merry christmas but also don’t make any other assumptions

i’m almost definitely not going to because it’ll be striking a hornet’s nest but getting so fucking tired of how much my team is openly assuming everyone is christian (complete with multiple explicit mentions of the church and jesus himself in our last meeting of things/people that coworkers were grateful for)

like yeah it would be inappropriate for me to bring politics to work and will probably make people uncomfortable but THEY STARTED IT

#i thought i could let it just roll off my back but it’s wearing on me #the sheer unabashed double standard #honestly should just harness the spite for my job search #but like. at least ATTEMPT to claim it’s a generic winter holiday celebration #they’re not even bothering to file off the christmas label #my team meeting yesterday was a full hour of explicitly christmas-themed activities #christmas trivia #then guessing whose christmas tree belonged to which coworker (they assumed we all had one and asked us to send them in on friday)#then christmas pictionary #i was going to mention at the end that hanukkah starts thursday night but we ran out of time #i don’t begrudge festive cheer. genuinely.#i AM annoyed by the assumption that being christian is the default #when i KNOW they do not see being any other religion as neutral #from some unfortunate experiences during last pesach #[screams]#my posts #work adventures #…i’m not going to because it’s not fucking worth it
